Essay topic:

The graph below gives information from a 2008 report about consumption of energy since 1980 with projections until 2030.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

Given is the chart comparing the consumption of 6 energy resources in the USA, namely petrol and oil, coal, natural gas, nuclear, solar/wind, hydropower as well as providing the predictions till 2030. Overall, the energy consumption is expected to rise, but at different paces.

More specifically, petrol and oil was consumed the most and is also likely to dominate until 2030. The figure first went through a period fluctuation before increasing dramatically. Furthermore, it will reach a peak of approximately 50 quadrillion units in 2030. In terms of coal and natural gas, the numbers showed the same pattern as both of them went up and down from 1980 to 2008. However, it is forecasted that coal and natural gas will increase in the future, finishing at 30 and nearly 25 quadrillion units respectively.

When it comes to the remaining resources, starting at just under 5 quadrillion units, the consumption of nuclear, solar/wind, hydropower subsequently fluctuated steadily. It is clear that these figures will not grow considerably at the end of the period.

Equally notably, the gap between the petrol/oil and coal will remain the same, whereas that of the renewable resources and coal is likely to widen.
